Comments from: Paul McMullan :
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they Should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For Example, (F)scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of The chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always Correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree With the chord (or note) in the piano notation.
